They were going to do what was best for them no matter what anyone else tells them or what sanctions you put on them. They were playing the face game and wanted some sanctions removed to make it easier. They've proven this for a long time already. 

Trump's problem there was he didn't go into it with a solid plan to replace it with nor did he have the full support of Congress to replace it with the plan that he did have. 

Can you actually sit there and tell me with a straight face that IRAN has always honored their deals? 

As far as GH is concerned? They've both claimed rights to that land dating back to 10 B.C. The people living there don't care who's in charge as long as there is Peace. It's the rulers on both sides that are making it a Royal PITA.

99.9% of all wars have been about resources. This one is no different. Water, Fertile Land, and so on. Nothing to do with WHO is on it.

Sounds like you were never following either deal or its implementation.

Iran gave up hundreds of pounds of already purified fissile material and tons of heavy water, took down thousands of centrifuges, and allowed monitoring of their nuclear sites. Over night it went from weeks away from "breakout" to a year or more.

This went forward for three years without problem--Iran was found to be in compliance, far from breakout. No reason to suppose they wouldn't still be the same If Trump had not broken the deal.  It was never about trust, but about close monitoring.

When Trump pulled out of the deal, we lost the power to do that and put the hardliners back into power. Now Iran is closer to the bomb than before, plus they got their funds back with no strings attached now.

Also this was a self own as far as the US' international reputation. No other nation on earth could have pulled all those countries together in that tight deal. Then Trump just broke it--and any confidence the international community can have in the US as a reliable partner.

The Golan Heights was Syrian sovereign territory, recognized internationally. Except for the US, the rest of the world still regards the territory as Syrian, seized in war. The principle of inviolability of sovereign territory was the reason the US went into the Gulf War and is currently supporting Ukraine. And it's not about "resources," though Israel is drilling Syrian oil there. Israel wants to expand its own territory, even if that means trashing international law. And the US backed them.
